If you want the most up-to-date Xbox that packs a powerful punch, look no further than the Xbox Series X. This fourth-generation console has won the hearts of gamers a million times over - but tends to come with a bit of an eye-watering price tag.

But thanks to a limited-time Microsoft deal, you can grab a refurbished Xbox Series X for just £379.99 - down from its full price of £419.99. That's a full £100 cheaper than buying a new console, which would set you back £479.99.

Buying refurbished tech can be a bit of an iffy process, as you never quite know what you're getting - but this is through Xbox directly, so you can be sure that it's passed all the checks and balances to make sure it works like new.

It comes with an Xbox Wireless controller and an ultra high speed HDMI cable - both of which are also refurbished - and has all the bells and whistles you'd expect from the most powerful Xbox on the market. The Xbox Series X offers true 4K gaming and up to 120 frames per second - meaning sharper graphics and faster load times, making your gaming experience a whole lot better.

And not only are you saving a bit of cash on a refurbished console, but you're also doing your bit for the environment - instead of buying new, you're repurposing used tech and making sure it doesn't head to a landfill.

You can get a sense of how gamers have found the console from Amazon reviews, where its clocked up a 4.8 star rating from over 14,500 write-ups. One reviewer said: "I am extremely impressed with its performance. This console offers incredible value for money with top-notch graphics and high-quality build. The visual experience is stunning, making every game look better than ever. One of the standout features is the super quiet operation, which makes gaming sessions much more enjoyable without any distracting noise. The quick play and load times are also a significant improvement, allowing me to jump into games almost instantly."

This seemed to be a common theme among reviews, with another reading: "I’ve been using the Xbox Series X for a while now, and haven't looked back. The graphics are absolutely stunning - everything looks so sharp and vibrant. The loading times are super quick so I can jump right into my games without the annoying wait."

A third added: "Extremely pleased by the small size, design and appearance of the console. Game play, graphics and sound are absolutely excellent (comparing to my old PS3 & PS4). Really impressed with how quickly games load and switch scenes."

However, some gamers had more critical notes to share. "I'm absolutely loving my Xbox Series X Console, but I do want to warn others about one thing: it's BIG," wrote one reviewer. I was expecting a slightly larger size compared to the previous Xbox consoles, but this thing is MASSIVE!" Another gamer complained: "Storage on the console is much too small."

Of course, if you did want to buy a brand new Xbox Series X, that'll cost you £479.99. Or if you wanted to opt for something different, Currys is selling the PlayStation 5 Pro for £689.

But to save a bit of cash on a powerful console, you can't go far wrong with a refurbished Xbox Series X.
